  • The Composer's Guide to the Tuba
    THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love.

Recordings with Non-Vocal Works 72 Alphabetical by composer or record title IV: Recordings with Works in Miscellaneous Formats 76 Alphabetical by composer or record title Sources 81 Acknowledgments 83 5 Preface The American poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), unknown in her lifetime, is today revered by poets and poetry lovers throughout the world, and her revolutionary poetic style has been widely influential. Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.

  • 7Pm Apexart:291 Church Street, New York, NY
    Come Together (NYC) Apexart asked me to be a part of a show called Maurizio Couldn’t Be Here. For five weeks in February and March the gallery is hosting a different performance related project each week. I came up with an idea for the first week. What I decided to do is organize an all day lecture program com- posed of 26 people who will each lecture for ten minutes a piece. The entire event will be video taped and shown as a projection in the gallery the following week. I asked 26 people who I knew or who knew someone I knew to select someone else to do one of the ten minute lectures. The selectors supplied info about the lectures for this publica- tion and will introduce their lecturers at the event. The only requirements I had for the people doing lectures was that they didn’t ordinarily go to Apexart and that the topic that they chose to lecture on was not directly related to contem- porary visual art. Otherwise the lecturer could be anyone in the NYC area and the lecture topics were totally open. The lectures will be presented in the following order beginning at 11 am and ending at 7 pm on Saturday, February 12th at the gallery. There will be periodic breaks and snacks pro- vided. The public is invited to attend the entire eight hour event, but can feel free to come and go between lectures. – Harrell Fletcher 26 ten minute lectures by 26 different people Saturday, February 12, 2005 11am – 7pm Apexart: 291 Church Street, New York, NY 2 Presentation On The Kemetic Orthodox Religion Josh Kline will lecture about The Kemetic Orthodox Church which he feels is one of the most interesting new religions in America today.

    NNoottee WWoorrtthhyy A publication of The Wednesday Morning Music Club (Austin) Website: musicclubaustin.org Oct. 19, 2016 WMMC - Member Highlight - Virginia Kneisner My father and mother played violin. They bought me a concertina as my first musical instrument. It came with an instruction booklet. I learned to play it while I was in Our Lady of Angels Catholic elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio. At 9 years of age I started studying the piano on my next-door neighbor’s piano. I was her only student. The trombone and string bass were two instruments I learned to play in high school. I played string bass in the St. Joseph’s Academy orchestra, and trombone in the Cleveland Catholic Diocesan High School Orchestra. I also played piano in the diocesan high school piano trio. I took music theory and solfege lessons from Starling Cumberworth at the Cleveland Music School Settlement and music composition lessons from Rudolph Bubalo, President of the Cleveland Composers’ Guild. I spent the summer of my sophomore year studying piano and trombone at a high school music camp at Bowling Green State University. The summer of my junior year in high school was spent studying music theory at the Chautauqua Institution in New York. I enjoyed playing the trombone, and played it in the Kent State University marching band. I entered the School of Music with a four-year music scholarship, and worked in the music library part-time. I did music outreach at a mental health and retardation facility. I joined the Delta Omicron music fraternity while at K.S.U.
